The problem uses the perimeter formula. P = 2w + 2l where w is the width, and l is the length.

We know the length (l) is 3 inches longer than it's width (or l = w+3). Substitute w +3 into Perimeter equation

P = 2w + 2(w+3). That simplifies to P = 4w + 6.

Since P + 42, we have 42 = 4w +6. With some simple algebra we find that w = 9 and l = 12.

Hope this helps!

What are the vertices of AA'B'C'if AABC is dilated by a scale factor of 4?

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the dilatation is centred at the origin, then multiply each of the coordinates by 4 , that is

A (0, 10 ) → A' (4(0), 4(10) ) → A' (0, 40 )

B (8, 6 ) → B' (4(8), 4(6) ) → B' (32, 24 )

C (4, 2 ) → C' (4(4), 4(2) ) → C' (16, 8 )

notka56 [123]

Answer:

$\$5294.72$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: Daniel invests $\$2,037$ in a retirement account with a fixed annual interest rate of $6\%$ compounded $6$ times per year.

TO FIND: What will the account balance be after $16$ years

SOLUTION:

Amount invested by Daniel $=\$2037$

Annual interest rate $=6\%$

Total amount generated by compound interest is $=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^n^t$

Here Principle amount $P=\$2037$

rate of interest $r=6\%$

number of times compounding done in a year $n=6$

total duration of time $nt=16\text{ years}$

putting values we get

= $2037(1+\frac{6}{6\times100})^1^6$

$=2037(\frac{101}{100})^1^6$

$=\$5294.72$

Hence the total balance after $16\text{ years}$ will be $\$5294.72$

Melanie has a piece of cloth 12 and 1/3 yards long. How many 3/4 yard-long pieces can be cut from the cloth?

Harrizon [31]

This is a division problem. First, get 12 1/3 into fraction form instead of mixed number form to make your life easier;
$12 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{36}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{37}{3} 
$
Now, divide the two fractions. Since this is fraction division, the reciprocal is flipped and the two fractions multiplied.
$\frac{37}{3} * \frac{4}{3} = \frac{148}{9} = 16 \frac{4}{9} 
$
The answer from the fraction division is 16 and four-ninths, but because you need a whole number as an answer,
the answer is 16 pieces.
